The SMALTS from the Netherlands (incl. a member of the MINNY POPS) have been producing weird and off-kilter Pop-music since 1982, ranging from RESIDENTS-alike songs, to experimental sounds and even Folk tunes! They also run the BLOWPIPE label, which produces a wide variety of outer-pop and synth-pop. This LP contains 11 previously unreleased tracks, and includes a download-code for a Blowpipe label-sampler with 12 additional tracks of synth-pop oddities.

The WATTS ENSEMBLE from Los Angeles actually really is an ensemble, or even an orchestra, with a total of 24 musicians (lots of saxes, trumpets, violins and more)! The CD features two suites, with a full playing-time of 45 minutes. Jazz and progressive Rock influenced music, arranged and played in a classical style. Or as they call it: Jazzical.NEW sealed/shrinkwrapped copy!

New band of John Dwyer (ex-COACHWHIPS, PINK AND BROWN), and fuck yeah, this is pretty awesome: Think of the dirty COACHWHIPS-alike Garage-Rock combined with the crazy heaviness of PINK AND BROWN. Features 7 songs, playing-time of 15 minutes!

Solo-project of Matthew Ford (FACTUMS, LOVE TAN). Minimal Noise-Pop. Primitive fun, like being recorded with toy-instruments, broken synths, and household equipment. Soundwise and stylistically definitely in the tradition Jad Fair/HALF JAPANESE or early 80s tape-artists. Actually if you'd claim it's taken from a cassette released in 1982, noone would doubt it. Listen to one of the songs:
